## Install

Clone the git repository in your home folder.

    git clone git://github.com/TobiasTheViking/megaannex.git 

This should make a ~/megannex folder

## Setup

Run the program once to make an empty config file.

    cd ~/megaannex; python2 megaannex.py

Edit the megaannex.conf file. Add your mega.co.nz username, password, and folder name.

## Configuring git-annex

	git config annex.mega-hook '/usr/bin/python2 ~/megaannex/megaannex.py'

	git annex initremote mega type=hook hooktype=mega encryption=shared
	git annex describe mega "the mega.co.nz library"

## Notes

You may need to use a different command than "python2", depending
on your python installation.
